through the tunnel of the d, e p. Railroad
last evening, horse attached to wagon
came jashiug down Seventh street and col
lided with the ffail iron railing around the
mouth Of the tunnel The railing parted
and the horse went through, leaying the
wagon behind him. The animal fell on the

most instantly. Had the accident occurred
few minutes earlier, the train would have
been wrecked in the tunnel. The horse

The Queen Bee,

Development work has been going
steadily ahead at the Queen Bee during
the past winter, and the company is now
about ready for beginning milling
operations. The former failure Of the
Queen Bee company was caused by the
refractory nature of the ore, recent as.
says having shown that nearly or quite
eighty-five per cent Of the gold was lost.
The company is now considering put
ting in concentrating works, and is
figuring with the Gates company OF
Chicago, which has made them most
honorable proposition. A considerable
quantity of ore has been uncovered
during the past season where none was
supposed to exist, and the grade is so
high that by concentration, obtaining
one ton for every twenty milled, a
handsome profit can be made by ship
ping to Omaha. Mr.. Gates goes up to
the Queen Bee in day or two, and the
final details Of the transaction will
probably be arranged immediately on
his return. From the present outlook
the Queen Bee will become a producer
within the next three months.-Rapid
Republican.

Messrs. Star and Miller of the railroad
committee returned Sunday evening.
They had nothing further to report
than has at different times appeared in
print. While at Chicago they visited
President Hughitt who assured them
that a standard gauge road would be
built into Deadwood and that as soon as
possible. The gentleman seemed to
favor the Boulder Canyon route, be-
cause of the scenery it afforded. Pend
ing the report of Chief Engineer An
drews nothing de finite will be done.
As soon as that gentl eman completes
his labors and the results are known
then route will be decided upon and
the company will then submit propo-
sition to Deadwood. The completion of
the road depends entirely upon the
season. If the weather remains favor
able the road will in all probability be
completed this year, if not, then few
months more may be required. Mr..
Star seems to think that Deadwood will
have railroad in six or eight months
at the farthest. The terminus of the
road will be on Whitewood, as previ-
ously tated.-Pioneer.

The Tournament.

Much interest was excited yesterday
by the news that one Of the Fremont
hose companies would enter the free for
all race at Lead City on the Fourth
The presence Of outside teams will add
zest and interest to the contest, but any
company that comes expecting to find
the Black Hills laddies "pie," will 20
home wiser than they come. The
Deadwood and Lead City teams are first
class ia every particular, while our
local company is rapidly coming into
splendid form and will make a fine
record for themselves. The $500 prize
will be hotly contested, and whichever
company carries it off will do it by hard
work. Il. ID. Millet, formerly of Lead
City, has sent word from London tina,
he will give $50 to the Lead Hose com.
panv in addition to the prize offered, il
that company will take any first prize
during the tournament A large crowd
is assured, and the best tournament
ever held in the Hills is anticipated -

Mining Legitimate.

Many people do great injustice to the
investor in mining properties or pros
poets when they call him gambler
or "speculator." There is a large ele-
ment of chance in mining, but that
element exists in greater or less degree
in almost every one of the occupations
called legitimate. Speaking of the
chances one takes in making an invest
ment, an exchange truthfully remarks:
The miller lays in big stock Of wheat
in the hope that the price Of -four will
advance while he is grinding it. The
wholesale grocery merchant buys a
large stock of sugar when it is cheap
and stores it away in anticipation of an
increase in market value. The clothing
merchant purchases large invoice Of
overcoats in the hope and belief that
the winter will be long. All Of these are
Spectators in their various ways. The
miller may find the price Of -four, when
be comes to sell, lower than it was
when he bought his wheat. The grocer
may be caught with large stock of
sugar on hand when there is an un-
usually good crop of cane. The winter
may be short, and the clothing merchant
may have to sell his overcoats at loss
They take the chances Of making or
losing money. The mine owner also
takes chances. He has put his money
into piece of property which may or
may not develop crop of precious
metal. Jf it does, the chances are that
his reward will be much greater than it
would have been had he invested his
capital in any other enterprise. The
man who buys piece of property with
the intention Of digging in it for gold or
silver is no more gambler" than the
man who cultivates the soil in the hope
that it will bring forth a good crop Of
grain. Mining is as legitimate as any
other business enterprise Mining and

The Gate Trail.

Washington special: Secretary Lamar
to-day signed an order revoking the
order of March 20, 1886, Withdrawing
from settlement all of range Al in the
western part of Kansas and eastern part
of Colorado The issue of the order of
withdrawal, setting aside from settle
ment strip of land oyer 800 miles long,
was due to a conference held with Sen
ator Coke Of Texas, acting in the inter
est of the cattle industry Of Texas and
the southwest Dry weather and other
causes had operated during 1885 to
greatly deplete the ranges of the south
west, and the question Of feed for the
enormous herds of those sections had
become most important one. 1t be-
came necessary 10 drive the herds north
ward in search of food, and it was nec-
essary to find a thoroughfare. The
hostility Of the government to any at
tempt to drive through the Indian
territory and the rapid settlement OF
lands IN Colorado and Kansas, rendered
some action to secure right of way at
once imperative. Congress failed to
pass the necessary bill. Appeals have
been made to the secretary of the in
terror to open this land to settlement
and he to-day concluded to do So
How the herds upon the northwest
ranges will return to Texas, should they
derise to do SO, now is question for the
cattlemen.
